28 Fabric Interoperability: Merging Fabrics Based on C-Series and B-Series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes
Troubleshooting
1. If you see segmentation errors on any of the switches after merging the fabrics, then verify
that interoperability mode is enabled on all switches in the fabric.
2. Ensure all the time out values are set properly, especially E_D_TOV (2 secs) and
R_A_TOV (10 secs).
3. If you see segmentation errors and messages like “Platform Management Database
Inconsistency” on B-series switches, then disable the management server on B-series
switches using the “msPlMgmtDeactivate” telnet command, as described in the earlier
sections.
4. If you notice any zoning related issues, verify that there were no duplicate zonesets or
zones before merging. Also ensure all zones are configured using pWWN only.
